This is a photo from September 1960, when Carol and I were dating. (We got married in May, 1961) This shot was taken at the State Fair in Salem. Earlier in September we rode everything at the County Fair and then rode most rides at the State Fair. We had so much fun. And we still know how to have fun together. :)

They had these painted figures that you stand behind, with cutouts for your head. That was where this photo was made. The photo didn't hold up well. It is pretty well faded and was very hard to copy. It was originally in color, but the copy looks better in B&W.

As a side note, it was 102 years ago today that my father was born. He died in 2000. But loved ones live on in one's memory.
